Those who favor the exceptional e-mailing and messaging capabilities of a BlackBerry finally have a sleek touchscreen: RIM's BlackBerry Storm under the Verizon network. Yet this one keeps the all-confirming click of a physical button with a screen that actually depresses. The 3.25-inch LCD has a hi-res display that automatically switches between landscape and portrait mode as you turn the phone, which then switches between full qwerty and RIM's SureType keyboards.

Keep in mind: Just as with the iPhone, this first-gen Storm has a few kinks to work out. Because there's so much technology packed into such a small device, it has a hard time keeping up. But if it's on your must-have list, watch for software updates; otherwise, the next batch should be even better.
